It’ll be interesting how the left media will maintain their double standard of: 31yo Russel Brand-bad, for having sex with 16yo teen, and minor attracted people-good having sex with children.
Well, Tim Ballard and Rudy Guiliani, in the same news cycle, for starters.Who next?
I never say that about addicts in distress. I've had friends who were in seemingly good places in their lives commit suicide for much less strife in their life.Russell Brandt will be fine. Not worried a bit.
When I was 28 or 29, I had a short-lived relationship with a 19 year old coworker. It didn't work out because we both realized in the period of a week that we had very little in common (physical attraction is simply not enough when you're actually dating and not just hooking up). And for my part, when it came to things that weren't work related, she seemed quite immature to me. We stopped seeing each other and remained cordial co-workers (the ONLY time that has every worked out for anyone to the best of my knowledge :D ). Anyway, it was consensual, as was Russell's relationship with the 16 year old who was of legal consenting age who also did not listen to her mother, who has been quoted as saying she knew there was nothing she could do because of the law. The woman herself stated that only later she realized it was wrong, and believes the laws should be changed. Worth noting that she was fine with Brand's age until he wanted her in a threesome and felt betrayed.It’ll be interesting how the left media will maintain their double standard of: 31yo Russel Brand-bad, for having sex with 16yo teen, and minor attracted people-good having sex with children.
Apologies if you did understand but I’m not sure you picked up the point I was making: how the current liberal media promotion of “minor attracted people” (paedophiles) as being “normal” is ludicrously contradicted by the media promotion of harsh judgment of Russel Brand having sex with a young but of legal age girl.When I was 28 or 29, I had a short-lived relationship with a 19 year old coworker.

Emotional maturity has a lot to do with who people are attracted to, and I'm willing to bet the drug-addled addict that Brand was at 31 matched the emotional maturity of a 16-year-old. Whatever you think of it, it was legal, and is only used in this attack because modern sensibilities judge it harshly, as is the goal.
Yes, I think I missed that point, because I've seen quite a few people calling Brand a pedophile. And of course I am against pedophilia. We do however define the limits of what makes a pedophile with the laws of a society, so if Brand had done that in the US where it is illegal in most states, I would call him a pedophile. Hell, if he traveled somewhere that had no age of consent to have sex with someone who he couldn't where he is a legal citizen, I'd call him a pedo. But he grew up and was a citizen of a country where 16 has been the age of consent for a long time and is considered acceptable by society at large, and age difference being "creepy" is a relatively new phenomenon in the scheme of things.Apologies if you did understand but I’m not sure you picked up the point I was making: how the current liberal media promotion of “minor attracted people” (paedophiles) as being “normal” is ludicrously contradicted by the media promotion of harsh judgment of Russel Brand having sex with a young but of legal age girl.
I wish you and your family many blessings! You might think yourself as a Picasso, but I am sure it is just a transitory debilitating mental phenomenon. Social habits elevated at the rank of culture are most cruel, especially when they are broadcasted on all walls, in our case, mainly virtual.Yes, I think I missed that point, because I've seen quite a few people calling Brand a pedophile.

Anyway, my own wife is 8 years younger than me and I met her when she was a HS senior but did not date her until she was 23 and cohabitated until we married 10 years later. And for me I have thought about the age difference a lot, and after much reflection accepted there was a reason we lasted in cohabitation so long without the clashes I had with previous serious relationships which happened to be with women 5 and 8 years older than me.
I admit to being triggered and missing your point.
I think that is the other part of this attack on him. He has in fact grown up a lot over the years, he went from being a creepy and obnoxious junkie comedian, and he turned his life around, through a spirituality that worked for him, and he decided to take that journey and turn himself into something more. He used his notoriety and his "Fool Nature" and made something positive for humanity.There is something erratic about Russell Brand - although I think he has actually matured over the years.
Thank You for the video link, as it holds a VERY INTERESTING discussion! Yuval and his husband Itzik have produced some books that might explain the current system, and are worth reading....There is something erratic about Russell Brand - although I think he has actually matured over the years.
But can you imagine a human being kissing this character?
This is a still from a 2020 YT program with RB talking to Harari about his new book "Under The Skin".
Totally agree.A lot of people in the mainstream discussion seem to miss the obvious on this, being either Tate-heads or "believe all women" types. Obviously it is a coordinated attack and someone powerful is trying to shut him down, but also it's obvious that some of the stuff is true.
You can't be a crazed drug addict with that much power, in the party scene, and have sex with thousands of women without "messing up" at least a few times. But then do you deserve to be crucified for it 20 years later? Interesting moral question, especially if you read his book Recovery, he seems to be a very different person now.
As for the pedo accusations, it's not like he was hanging round in chatrooms predating on kids or something. Rather as a good-looking celebrity he would have had many such 16 year olds throwing themselves at him - fully developed and able to have children by the way. I'm not condoning it, but this kind of stuff used to be quite normal.

Look at the example of Ian Watson for a true evil pedo celebrity (or the obvious Jimmy Saville).
